The Denver Mineral Show focuses on better minerals, gems, fossils and art on Level 3 of the huge National Western Complex (NWC). Also featured are exhibits, services such as gem cutting, and leading dealers such as Arkenstone and Aerolite Meteorites which individually install museum quality exhibits. The show has 150+ booths this year and will reach its 165-booth capacity next year. We're easy to find: a mere one foot (the thickness of the wall) behind the monster 18 x 145 foot DENVER MINERAL SHOW banner mounted on the front of the NWC building. The show is one floor above ground level, reached by two passenger elevators and four stairways. It is directly in the middle of all the action — but 20 feet above it. The NWC is one of two historic buildings making up the huge Denver Show (which is comprised of 5 distinct shows) that now straddles both sides of I-70. The Denver Show is the largest single show in the USA with more than 8 miles of tables and 500,000 square feet of inside space. There are dedicated sections inside and outside for fossils, rough, wholesale, jewelry, miner's finds, and now: minerals and gems. We expect 45,000 visitors and 450 dealers, in modest 8x10 booths all they way up to 5,000 sq. foot booths taking up 1/4 of the Stadium.
